1. Ranger non-stick craft sheet.
Nothing sticks to it.
I use it to mix paint and mediums, spritz water on it to wash my paintbrush [why yes, I have my own ensuite bathroom but sometimes the ass just wants to remain in the chair...*LOL*].... It can take heat so you can use your heat gun to do embossing or drying your project. Stick your masking tape on it...and add stamp and paint....and it peels right off...onto your project.
Easiest cleanup ever. Use a wet rag over it. Or just peel off once the medium on it has solidified.
2. The Crafter's Workshop stencils.
Ahhhh...the possibilities are endless once you start layering the stencils. Even though I have other brands of stencils in my stash, I just LOVE the sheer variety The Crafter's Workshop has....[love the new releases!]
I love the quality too....they can totally take my constant "abuse"...*winks* . Totally worth the investment.
3. EK Success Cutter Bee scissors.
If you are looking for something to aid in your precision-cutting, this is it. I do all my fussy-cutting with it. It is small and lightweight and fits my hand perfectly. This is my companion when watching tv and doing a little fussy-cutting. It's so good you really need like 2 pairs. At the very least. Like I do...*LOL*
4. Tonic Studios - Tim Holtz non-stick micro-serrated scissors.
Except for precision-cutting, I use this for everything else [it has serrated edges which I don't like in my fussy-cutting]. It can cut a variety of materials like aluminium [soda cans!], plastic and rubber and it is resistant to rust and corrosion.
There you have it. 4 must-have supplies (Part 2). What are yours?
Awesome Post!! :D My must haves are 1.Fiskars softtouch spring action scissors (for precision cutting)
ReplyDelete2. A local-brand craft knife & cutting mat ( I dont like using trimmer, even though i have one)
3. Anita's tacky glue - I have this thing in me to glue everything, even when i am using tapes & runners, I end up using a bit of glue! I like only PVA glues, and this is the only acid free one i could find here.
4. Bundles of patterned papers! Cant have anything without PPs. I love your way of making the backgrounds with splashes of colors, though i always end up using PPs :D

ReplyDeleteHere's my list:
Martha Stewart Detail Scissors
ATG (I love my PINK one)
American Crafts foam adhesive dots
Baby Wipes for cleaning stamps

Totally different from my list, which includes two Fiskars trimmers (one for photos and one for paper), Fiskars microtip scissors, Martha Stewart Glittering Glue, Tombow tape runners, and Chestnut Roan Chalk Ink by Clearsnap.
ReplyDeleteI wrote the longest comment earlier then lost the internet!! Grrrrrr!!!! Yes to the craft mat (ordered mine this week - finally understood the benefits only recently & never buy anything unless I am sure I will use it) Yes to the scissors but I like the grip for my fussy cutting. I also need a craft knife & Fiskars trimmer too!!
